Sunday Link-Off: Follow the Money

I’m pretty sure that I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: Following the news can get really boring and depressing sometimes. It’s Clinton’s a liar. Trump’s a racist. Both are in scandals over their charitable organizations. All I want is for November to arrive so we can have this damn election over and done.

Anyway, it’s Sunday which means that we have to do the links. Let’s kick things off with Liz Hurley and her Instagram.

The first campaign event featuring both candidates (albeit separately) happened last Wednesday. Both sides felt that host Matt Lauer was unfair to their candidate and soft on the other.

You’d think that Glenn Beck would back Donald Trump since he’s a conservative pundit. Instead, he’s concerned about a Trump presidency turning into a Trump dictatorship. (Western Journalism)

The Trump Campaign has been losing policy staffers because they haven’t been paid. Trump says that he’ll put America back to work but is he going to make sure they’re paid to work? (Vanity Fair)

The head of Russia’s anti-corruption agency has over $120 million in cash in his apartment. Putin has everything in order. What a great leader. (Russia Today)

Kim Jong-Un has banned sarcasm in North Korea because he’s worried that people only agree with him ironically. (The Independent)
